NOTICE
This manual was written by the Yamaha Motor
Company primarily for use by Yamaha dealers
and their qualified mechanics. It is not possible to
put an entire mechanic's education into one
manual, so it is assumed that persons using this
book to perform maintenance and repairs on Ya-
maha snowmobiles have a basic understanding
of the mechanical concepts and procedures in-
herent in snowmobile repair. Without such
knowledge, attempted repairs or service to this
model may render it unfit to use and/or unsafe.
Yamaha Motor Company, Ltd. is continually
striving to improve all models manufactured by
Yamaha. Modifications and significant changes
in specifications or procedures will be for-
warded to all Authorized Yamaha dealers and
will, where applicable, appear in future editions
of this manual.
